“…Poly-D, L-lactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) is one of the most popular biodegradable polymers and has been used extensively for development of nanosystems such as proteins and peptides nanomedicine, nano-vaccines, nanoparticles, as it is metabolised to monomers, lactic acid and glycolic acid in the body with less toxicity. The common methods to prepare PLGA nanoparticles include solvent emulsion-evaporation (Raichur, Nakajima, Nagaoka, Maekawa, & Kumar, 2014), interfacial deposition (Fonseca, Simoes, & Gaspar, 2002) and emulsification-diffusion (Terry, Salaam, Nyairo, Thomas, & Dean, 2014). Gomes et al demonstrated that entrapped eugenol and trans-cinnamaldehyde with PLGA nanoparticles prepared by emulsion evaporation method could inhibit specific pathogens effectively, which can be used in food systems potentially as antimicrobial delivery (Gomes, Moreira, & Castell-Perez, 2011).…”
